Dear Councilor    Wilkie
                         re Proposed Service   Station,   Car Wash
Tourist    Park etc Myall Street Cooroy

Although I am not from Cooroy, I do travel through         that area
to my daughters home at Pomona.

I am amazed that this bushland (rural) corridor could be
considered for such a development that has been proposed. And,
as such, strongly oppose this application on a number of grounds
including;


         1 With the existing retail centre on the western side
of the railway line, enjoying a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere,
this proposal would introduce an additional retail centre, and
risks destroying the present community ambience.

         2 The litter on the roadside      and its surrounds     from
the fast food takeaway.

         3 This site is part of the Lake Macdonald          catchment,
and, as such, carries the likelyhood of impurities,         chemicals
and litter ending up in our essential water storage         catchment.

         4 Would create a very poor visual effect for visitors
(and locals) entering the Noosa Shire from the northern reaches.

            5   This area is zoned rural, and must remain as such.
